(All week, we've been counting down the results of our informal Summer of Laughter poll, in which I asked writers, comedians, friends, and CC Insider contributors which comedy movie they're most looking forward to this summer.)

And the number one Most Anticipated Summer Comedy is….

Winona_dummy_2 #1: The Ten
Release date: August 3
Official Site/Trailer: thetenmovie.com

It came as no surprise that a bunch of comedy nerds were going to choose this movie for our #1 spot — from the hilarious trailer to Sundance raves to the fact that it was directed by David Wain (Wet Hot American Summer), this is the movie we will all be seeing on opening night. (We've been covering The Ten since January, after all!)

Choice Quotes:

"The comedy I'm most looking forward to this summer is THE TEN, mostly because WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER has the highest lpm (laughs per minute) ratio of any movie I've seen. It also has the highest mph (minutes per hour) ratio of any movie I've ever seen (60, tied with many others)." - Neil Campbell, Comedian and Cartoonist

“Just look at the cast. Holy smokes.” - Chris Principe, CC Insider Contributor

(The rest of the people quoted here are in the movie):

The Ten! I actually have a brief singing part on the rap song during the final credits. I sing “Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh!” - Craig Baldo, Comedian

(After praising other movies by The State alumni…) "The movie I'm most excited about, though, is definitely THE TEN.  First of all it's by some guys from THE STATE, which was bar none, the best sketch comedy - no f**k it - the best television show of all time.  Ah screw it.  The State was the best thing, of any kind, of all time.  And what a cast!  Adam Brody, Paul Rudd, Famke Janssen, Jessica Alba, Bobby Cannavale, Rob Corddry, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Joe Lo Truglio, Ken Marino, A. D. Miles, Gretchen Mol, Oliver Platt, Ron Silver, Winona Ryder, Liev Schreiber, Justin Theroux, Mather Zickel, Jason Sudeikis, Michael Showalter, Michael Ian Black, Thomas Lennon, Robert Ben Garant….I'm out of breath!  And it's by the director of WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER, which is one of the top thirty summer camp comedies of the last decade." - David Wain, Director of "The Ten"

"The Ten– to see if anyone "gets" it, to see if any Christian Conservative group gets all "uppity" about it." - Joe Lo Truglio,  Also in The Ten
